I lost my tipper
I don't know where
Has anyone seen it?
Does anyone care?

Seriously...if that is at all possible :-)

It probably went the same way as the numerous capo's I once owned.

It was last seen in the Ship Victory in Chester.
As it happened I did have name and my tel no.taped to it! Just in case...!!

I know tippers are ten a penny but this one was a gudun!!!
Actually quite unique I think. Made of dark wood, sausage shaped
at each end and weighted with bits of somethin gold in colour.Well you never know!!! It was worth a lot to meeeee!

Maybe someone knows a good tipper maker who makes 'em like this.

Hope it turns up. I understand how you bodhrani are about those tippers. I think my wife would rather lose her bodhran than her tipper. It's not much, just something I whittled from an old rake handle years ago. But she's tried dozens of them over the years and keeps coming back to the old thing.

Old rake; how dare you sir! I resemble that remark.

My brother Billy had four foot willie,
And he showed to the girl next door.
She thought it was a snake, so she hit it with a rake.
So now it's only two foot four.

Trust a Scotsman to come up with the smut. It must be the porridge!
Tippers & bodhrans? I never heard of anyone being tipped to PLAY a bodhran!

I thought that I'd bring things down to a Kentish [Yes Kentish!]
level. After all my significant other is from Herne Bay. ¦¬]..Giok

Know what you feel like. I lost my tipper at Festval at the Edge. It was the first one I had been happy with since my very original ( now some 27 years old and made out of broom handle) and I was very upset.

Let's hope it turns up in someone else's bag and they return it!

Well, seriously, you can make another one. They're not that hard. I've made several (without a lathe). Experiment with different lengths, shapes, materials. When you get one you like, make another half-dozen like it.

Sorry if you lost an heirloom though...

I hope you find it soon, WhiteDove. The tipper I use day in and day out is perfect for me. I'd be quite upset if I lost it. There isn't another one in my bag that I like as much.

You can always use a Stanley Knife if all else fails.

NOW THEN!!!!!

If you're not careful, I'll report you to the RSPCB (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Bodhrans) They already killed one with a harpoon in the Mudcat Christmas Tavern!

JennyO,

Did you not read the disclaimer in the Mudcat Tavern thread? No bodhrans were injured in the making of that thread.

(It was really an adufe in disguise.)

I usually carry 3 identical tippers in my case.
Go out and get some made right away.

Y'know, when I read the thread title, I thought Al Gore had misplaced his wife.

White - I have a tipper - just one - that is not really red and would be lost if lost. Until I had another made specially. It plays well but not my best one.

It is made of walnut so I can tell people "I only bring it for the 'crack'"

I'll get my coat.....
